Econ “counts”, either the generic HS Econ class or the more rigorous 2-semester AP Micro&Macro version.

“Personal Finance” is very useful&practical but is not a social science or history class.

The main academic fields are: History -
Anthropology- Geography- Sociology- Psychology- Economics- Political Science - African American studies - Women’s/Gender Studies - Demography.

In NC, only 2 units of social science, including US History, are required for thr state university system, so adding 1 semester or year of personal finance to US history and freshman social studies doesn’t really “count”; but most students admitted to selective colleges (including UNC unkess guidance says a course wasn’t available) would certainly have an expectation the 4 courses would include 2 history courses and 2 others from the list in post #20.
